You have to wonder why Damian is so against others wasting their time passing laws to stop piracy online.

It's not his time that's being wasted. It's not even the UK Government wasting time. So the effect on him, if he's legal and above board s not a lot. The possibility eventually these measures will limit piracy of the product in the industry he says he makes his living is there.

So no cost to him, if he is legal and above board. And the possibility of a benefit.

Something isn't quite right here.

He was vehemently opposed to sending out letter to pirates. With the threat of going to court or settling out of court.

Did anyone here his voiced raised when Acacia were sending out similar letters to law abiding firms? I don't remember his posts, maybe he would like to show them to us. Seems strange one form of blackmail he has little to say on and the other a lot. Whats the difference?

As he doesn't own a site, Acacia won't come after hi. As he's not a pirate and clever enough to stop others leeching off his Wi Fi, he's not going to get a letter from a lawyer accusing him wrongly of being a pirate.

Something isn't quite right here.

If it smells fishy, it's a good chance it is fishy.
